Euro Motors, the luxury automotive arm of the Bahrain-based Alzayani Investments Group, has signed a renewable energy agreement with Positive Zero, for a project in Sitra, which will entail the construction and development of a solar rooftop and carport.
The renewable energy agreement for the solar rooftop and carport, which upon completion, is expected to have a capacity of 2.7MWp, and will generate 4.7 GWh of electricity per year, which is an equivalent amount of energy as the annual electricity used by 654 households.
The 25-year renewable energy agreement will result in major environmental benefits, including the annual reduction of more than 3,100 tons of greenhouse gases. For comparison, almost 52,000 trees would need to be planted and grown for 10 years to have a similar level of impact.
Euro Motors Bahrain is the luxury car dealer for major car brands such as BMW, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Maserati, Land Rover, Jaguar and MINI. Alzayani Investments Group has a wide portfolio of brands across different industries, underlining its position as one of the leading conglomerates in Bahrain.
Positive Zero will handle end-to-end build, financing, operations and maintenance of the solar rooftop and carport, ensuring Euro Motors can fully benefit from the environmental and economic cost savings.
